Nope no green lights a bit gutted actually if some one could pm me and just let me no what you had to do with the lights i feel if i have the last part of the puzzle robbed from me.


i feel for you, my friend. from what i understand the green lights blink a set of 10 numbers. thats your 3rd 10 digit code you need.

They key should come out easy the placenta will stop faceing away from you if you have gone to far. If you can turn the top of you r puzzle all they way around and it stops with the placenta facing away from you . You have gone to far and must complete the rest of the puzzle for it to unlock.


with the BB in the inner track, turning counter-clockwise slowly until it stops, nothing happens. with the BB in the outer track, turning clockwise slowly until it stops.

i have gone back and forth doing both several times. no key...

Repost:
Maybe you can help me, if you dont mind...either on here or by PM.

someone posted a few pages ago saying, " turn clockwise to release the key; turn counter clockwise to release the latch"

not knowing what was what and still discovering the labrynth, i made it to the latch side and turned until the placenta was stuck on the backside. Later i was informed that i needed to get back to the start and find a "new path".

finally i discovered the labrynth to the key side. i followed the directions of the 5th clue, but went to far because of binding. eventually i was stuck with my placenta locking in the front.

i decided to repeat the last two steps, but nothing worked. so i tried again, nothing. i am back at the start and just confused. i am wondering if it is possible that something is keeping my key chamber in the lock position abnormally. improper assembly (as stated was a problem in early production; i pre ordered early), or a burr from excessive force.

Any help? all is welcomed...

 		I've had my ramisis for a while now. I got the key out last night. I know that if I hold the top 2 rings and the base still and turn the bottom 2 rings anticlockwise the latch moves, but how far is it meant to move before it opens?

 		I have my key out, so do i try and open the latch now or do i need to repeat what i was doing and open the key chamber again before then opening the latch?

Thanks Very Happy

 		Look into the eye of the Ramisis
What am I seeing?
looking into the hole of the key chamber, i see some things i dont understand. with all the problems i have been experienceing, i was hoping some of you would help me understand what i am dealing with.

1. on the right side i see a set of teeth, as if there is a gear for them to mesh with.

2. directly inside is a thin piece of metal with a black plastic coating behind which i think i can see the key.

 		help
If your key is out your supposed to close it up again and try to get it open one more time,this seems to be really hard.
I to considered to take out the latch at that point but did not now its still closed.
I don't know if you can get the latch out at this point but your supposed to hold it as if you turn it over to the right side and tap it so that the latch falls into the place the keyhole was.
If you do it like this you wont get in the isis adventure because Sw seems to know if you did correct or not.

 		at the starting and halfway point you can feel the extra resistance of turning the internal mechanism when turning the 180 deg.
before turning the full 180 deg, stop at 90 deg, the key drawer should pop out, and if it does not, compress the puzzle , or hit the sides of the pyramid gently, this might help release it.
When the key pops out at the halfwaypoint, remove the key and reinsert the key drawer, lock it and follow the instructions.

i got to the 90 degree point and started with gentle taps on the sides and ended up banging the crap out of it. after a while i decided my BB wasn't were i thought it was so i turned another 90 degrees and it locked up (guess it was were i wanted it to be).

i guess back the the other side to bring the center back around and then back to this side to try it again. errg...

 		Placenta locked at the back
...where now?
Can someone help me with this? I can easily get the BB up to a point where I can hear it near the top of the puzzle, then I can get the placenta to lock at the back (opposite the key chamber). Now I can rotate different layers and make the BB move again (layers unlocked), but almost anything I do from there gets is back into the locked-at-180-degree stage again.

I opened my key chamber once but it only opened a bit so I pushed it back in again. So am I now on the second part of the puzzle or the first still? Where should I be aiming to get my BB?

 		little light
to open it the first time you get the bb in a track that makes something turn counterclockwise and then it should pop the keychamber out.
For the second time you need to get the bb back up and then down another way to get it in the next track opposit the first one and move it clockwise to open it the second time and then you can open it completely.
Sounds simple,doesn't it, it's so simple that mine isn't open neither.
This is something i heard so i dont know if its accurate, i dont know wich ways to turn ,neither how to set the different pieces in the wright alinement, and mine also only has the key out.
So good luck to all of you and to me to

you need to get it back in the actual maze you just going backwards and forwards at the minute. when you are in a ring you are heading in the right direction

i keep hearing that, but when i opened mine the first time i turned the top layer counter clockwise till it got tight, then i turned the bottom layer clockwise 1/4 turn and it popped.

does anyone have pictures of the inside of this thing?
